There are many recipies/formulations of baking power, but all have in common:
An Alkali, such as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda);
An Acid in the form of salt crystals, like calcium phosphate;
Starch, to keep the powder dry.
Double-acting baking powder will have two types of acid salts, one for room-temperature reaction, and another (like calcium aluminum phosphate) for reaction during baking.
